One former school inspector is contracted as a consultant as the interim manager of three schools pending the amendment of the Vocational Education Act to enable patrons of these schools to establish Boards of Management. Another retired school inspector has been appointed to the board of directors of the Middletown Centre for Autism based at Armagh which is a body jointly funded by my Department and the Department of Education in Northern Ireland. The Board of Directors is expected to meet 8 to 10 times a year. A former Assistant Secretary is on the board of FAS.
